Hey, did you know that the income tax deadline here in the U.S. has been pushed back 'til Monday?

(I'll pause here to allow those of you whooping for joy to catch your breath.)

Well, if you're like me, this means you might want to get started on your taxes sometime today, or this weekend, or maybe even Monday morning. After all, as a wise man once said, "[remember to insert procrastination quote before post goes up]!"

So, in our eternal quest to help you readers in the most sincere way possible using funny cakes, here is a complete, comprehensive guide for doing your taxes.

This shows the IRS you're just "guess-timating." They're totally cool with that.

Step 5. Go to the nearest ATM and empty your checking account, savings account, and pockets. This is what you owe.

It's always a good idea to send your payment in cash, and stuck to a cupcake. The IRS enjoys playful pranks like this, and will doubtless credit your account several hundred dollars in exchange for the laugh.

Well, we hope you've enjoyed our comprehensive tax guide. Now, if you need us, we'll just be vacationing somewhere you've never heard of outside U.S. jurisdiction.

Here's a good website with several procrastination quotes: http://www.fuel-my-motivation.com/procrastination-quotes-funny.html:) Great post, as always! What the heck is that first cake supposed to be, anyway? Soda can? Firecracker? The world may never know.

Today is Emancipation Day, a holiday that is only observed in DC. This is the reason the tax deadline is now Monday. How's about some Emancipation day cakes!(crickets chirping)WHAT?!?! A holiday without cakes? This is not happening to me...I vow to not file my taxes until such cake is found.

#5 Look, if you want to keep claiming Ruby as a dependent, just let her be "20" for another year; "3" is kind of obvious. Leave it to some extraneous quote specialist to come up with balloons that don't look (much) like 'swimmers'.

Thanks, Robin, for letting us know that it is Emancipation Day. I had HEARD that there was some sort of holiday, and I WONDERED what it was, but I wasn't even going to BOTHER to look it up. You have saved me probably twos of moments of worrying about this. And, now I can tell everyone else, "I bet you don't even know what holiday is today. Humph, read a paper sometimes, jeez." All this superiority is making me tired. I'm going to take a nap.

Happy Emancipation Day! And, in Massachusetts, we get another day's grace, thanks to Monday's Patriots' Day (no relation to the football team, honest - it's the anniversary of the "Shot Heard 'round the World" - at the Battle of Lexington/Concord).

Oh man if I received that strawberry cake covered in purple poo frosting I am sure I would send the IRS on the person that did it lol. Scary truly scary what they can do to destroy a cake. I so wouldn't touch that first one with the poo straw..ugh.

Love how computers can pick out the words in your blog and assign a theme for the advertisements, as in "Accounting" + "Income Tax" = Turbo Tax ad. Perhaps you should try titles like "Proctology" to see what ads come up.

Oh, would someone send me a cupcake. I have to work on my taxes today.

Maybe I'm just really tired, but this one seems EXTRA hilarious this morning. I've already done my taxes (I'm a nerd, I do mine first thing), but I don't think it's too late to send the IRS a friendly cupcake and a nice tip, is it?

@ Loo-E Loo-I Thanks for the answers to the Wacky Cash question. Cucumbers soaked in vinegar....doesn't that equal pickles? Sounds more like a pregnant woman's breakfast instead of a President's. Bleh!

I'm sorry, but that first one seems to be an ode to the game "Pyramid." Can't you picture the winner's circle and the giver saying, "tampons, sperm" and the receiver replying, "things found in a vagina!" They both jump up and hug each other as Dick Clark announces their winnings.

taxes are easy if you use the skills you learn in High School math, 1) select a number, 2) multiply that number by zero, 3) add the correct answer, 4) eat cake while congratulating yourself on your time saving technique

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
